If you tend to think of spring floral fashion as a strictly sweet variety, that’s understandable given fashion’s history — but spring 2024 trends are decidedly different. Stronger and more neutral, the latest floral motifs offer a surprising and sophisticated take on what can be considered the season’s most ubiquitous print. In line with this change in trend, The trainer’s latest achievement presents the iconic Tabby 26 and Tabby 20 quilted shoulder bags in fresh florals enlivened with a dose of ’90s grunge, a completely evolving take on the classic.
The most fashionable floral motifs of the season
Coach’s “Find Your Courage” campaign has featured the likes of Lil Nas Coach has always proven that fashion has to change the mood, but its latest designs demonstrate the power of evolution with bold floral prints that capture the fresh and fun energy of the season – but in a more neutral palette that tempts even the most reserved among us lean in flowers. Consider it a flower that breaks the rules a bit in itself.
Drawing inspiration from 1940s tea dresses reimagined through a 1990s grunge lens, the designs feature a daisy motif that’s both retro and incredibly current; proof that just because previous seasons’ flowers had candy-sweet shades doesn’t mean it’s a seasonal requirement.
Based on Coach’s archival design from the 1970s Tabby bag 20 has another vintage-inspired detail: a daisy print. The huge graphic daisy motif observable here is characterized by robust tones and shapes; the black background provides a striking contrast to the white flowers with vivid yellow centers. It should be noted that the yellow is more of a golden mustard than a buttery pastel, and the color enhances the overall energy of the piece without sacrificing its joy. And while it’s floral, the overall tones of black and ecru appear more neutral, a piece that could easily be slipped into a more minimalist wardrobe or paired with an evening look, especially considering the luxurious gold-tone chain and logo detailing.
With a bifurcated middle compartment and an internal pocket with a magnetic closure, the Tabby 20 is roomy enough to hold your phone, wallet, keys and AirPods. There’s also an external slip pocket for any last-minute additions. Double the braided leather chain to wear it as a shoulder bag, or leave it on longer to wear it as a messenger bag.
In addition to robust flowers, Coach also offers Brindle 20 in a uniform shade that is equally piercing. The glowing, golden canary shade awakens the senses just as you’d expect from a spring color – but adds a surprising twist. It’s a good choice that makes it unexpectedly versatile – it can also be combined with deeper shades of autumn and winter, and it will also be an elegant choice for evening – especially considering its petite size.
Floral, but make it grunge
Sure, everyone knows the classic saying “fresh as a daisy”; Giving modern meaning to this phrase is the Coach daisy print used to denote Brindle 26 – a more airy version of the Tabby 20 – which really impresses modern. Miniature clusters of white daisies stand out against an eye-catching black background of graphically quilted genuine nappa leather; although somewhat uneven, the imperfection of the petals speaks to the overall grunge inspiration of this piece. Tabby 26 is the perfect choice for the day or to change your look from day to evening. It has room to stash the obvious phone, keys and wallet, and accessories; This version has two central compartments separated by a convenient zippered pocket, as well as an internal pocket with a magnetic snap and an external slip pocket.
With the same luxurious nappa leather and gold hardware as the Tabby 26 above, this solid black version is equally worth considering, especially if you’re looking to balance out the busier prints in your ensemble. The elegant quilted texture and the characteristic C logo will make it a timeless accessory. And because the shoulder strap can be doubled to be worn as a shoulder bag – and even replace with primitive top handle — is ready for any event that appears on your calendar.
